Ukraine and its Western allies have stepped up diplomatic efforts to warn Russia against launching a new military attack on Ukraine by spelling out the consequences of doing so, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Friday.
Speaking on his return from a trip to Washington, Kuleba accused Russia of waging a "hybrid war" on Europe and said Moscow's fingerprints were also on a migrant crisis unfolding on the border of the European Union and Russia's ally Belarus.
Russia has dismissed worries about its military activities as inflammatory and instead blamed Ukraine and the United States for destabilising behaviour. "Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of diplomacy, including shuttle diplomacy between Kyiv, Washington, key European capitals and Moscow," Kuleba said.
